Quotes

[hearing a sound behind him, Clay whirls gun in hand]
Marshal Gib Scott : Fast... takes a lot of experience to get that fast. I know your trade - what's your name?
Clay Culhane : Where I grew up, asking a man his name can be unhealthy.
Marshal Gib Scott : One of the hazards of my job. Your name.
Clay Culhane : Culhane... Clay Culhane.
Marshal Gib Scott : Well, I haven't heard much about the Culhanes since that shootout over in Marathon. Some of your family was killed.
Clay Culhane : Both my brothers.
Marshal Gib Scott : Seems I heard you crawled off and died, too.
Clay Culhane : Well, as you can see, that story's just a little bit exaggerated.

Marshal Gib Scott : I've been worried that Nora might get desperate enough to bring in a gun.
Clay Culhane : Oh, now look...
Marshal Gib Scott : Oh, I know... You're a lawyer.
Clay Culhane : Maybe you'd like to see my certificate, Marshal.
Marshal Gib Scott : It wouldn't make any difference, 'cause it wouldn't change the kind of man you are, Culhane. When trouble comes, you'll reach for that .45, not your law books.

Clay Culhane : What is this Pardee?
Marshal Gib Scott : Rancher, cattleman...

Nora Travers : Pardee?
Clay Culhane : He's dead.

[last lines]
Nora Travers : It's very quiet.
Clay Culhane : A town needs people to live.
Nora Travers : They'll be coming back.
Clay Culhane : Then maybe you'll need a lawyer here... That's if there's someone around to enforce the law.

Clay Culhane : You're stayin'?
Marshal Gib Scott : I'm stayin'.
